1980s 1980-85 Seville Bumper Fillers

[JREGAN]

Hey Everyone just was checking to see the consensus on replacement bumper fillers for the 2nd gen Sevilles. Who makes the best ones?

I haven't looked since I had mine installed, but don't try to do it yourself. (And my body man told me to NEVER bring something like that into the shop again. But they did do an excellent job.) I was able to do the front ones myself, but had to leave off the metal reinforcements. Trying to install such a large piece yourself is nearly impossible. (And there ARE two of them, you know.) Good luck.

John,

I certainly agree with Barry.  There were a number of products available years ago when I did mine, and I don't think the original soft material OEM has been available for decades, so what remains are hard plastic reproductions.  As Barry says, the fronts can be finessed in place, but using the original metal reinforcements doesn't work.  Back in '08 when I owned a low mileage '84 Biarritz convertible, I priced replacements for all of them at a high end body shop... I think they were quoting me $2,500... I found another shop, but it was still expensive --- can't recall how much. Hope this helps,  James
